Compost disappeared by January? Get more from what you put in.

Fair question. If you compost well the microbes are already there; this is food for them, not a replacement. Plenty of liquids get called snake oil, and a university review of humic products sold in Australia said the marketing claims outnumber the evidence. We are not going to argue with that from a web page. What we can tell you is what is in it, how it is made, and that we are publishing our own side-by-side photos. Then do your own: one bed treated, one not, same compost, same water. That is the only test that matters.

Wear gloves when you handle the concentrate, keep it away from eyes and skin, and do not swallow it. Water it in and keep kids and pets off the area until it has dried. Store the bottle out of reach, like any garden product. The Safety Data Sheet is linked below.
